Nathan Lyon became the outright most prolific Test wicket-taker at the Adelaide Oval, going past Shane Warne as Australia dominated day two of the second Test against West Indies.

Lyon, who served as a groundsman at the venue before his career took off, had Jermaine Blackwood caught and bowled for three in the evening session as Australia reduced West Indies to 102-4 at stumps, a world away from Australia's 511-7 total. It gave Lyon a 57th wicket in 12 Tests in Adelaide, beating Warne's haul of 56 from 13 matches.

Michael Neser, playing just his second Test match and first since facing England in Adelaide last year, took 2-20 after drawing edges from West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite and Shamarh Brooks. Tagenarine Chanderpaul (47no) was the only West Indies batter to have passed 20 by the close.

Earlier, Marnus Labuschagne advanced from his overnight 120 not out to 163 before edging Devon Thomas through to wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva.

Lyon's now 8th in the all-time Test wickets list with 447. Warne and Kumble (allegedly) were leg spinners, and Murali was a category by himself, so it looks as if Lyon and Ashwin will duke it out for a few more years to be the most prolific offspinner.

Lyon to T Chanderpaul, SIX, my word! Tagenarine Chanderpaul has smashed it all the way for a maximum. Looked like a premeditated shot, but he deserves plenty of credit for the way he executed it. The length was full and right in the swinging zone outside off, he went down on one knee and slogswept that over mid-wicket

No one has to be a wicket taking bowler to bowl out this West Indies team and, no one has to be a class batsman to score runs against this West Indies bowling attack.
Poor team selection has destroyed our cricket and I don’t understand why Desmond Haynes was made chief selector when all we are getting from him is embarrassment upon embarrassment
